Asphalt failed in Chelyabinsk due to soil erosion on the road – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia A few hours ago in Chelyabinsk there was an accident on the main collector, built in 1975 in Chelyabinsk. Deputy head of the city Alexander Astakhov spoke about this. According to him, restoration work is currently ongoing. A message distributed by the press service of the city administration explains that on Wednesday on the First Five-Year Plan street there was an accident on a gravity sewer (diameter 1000 millimeters). Emergency teams are working on the spot under the leadership of Alexander Astakhov himself, as well as the head of housing and communal services Vadim Khramtsov. The preliminary cause of the incident is said to be soil erosion on the above-mentioned main sewer. There is no overflow to the surface, and there are no resource restrictions for the residents of the house. The safe area has now been fenced off, and then the contractor will begin removing soil and laying new pipes. Ultimately, within 24 hours it will be determined how much repair and restoration work needs to be carried out and how long it will take. Source link Source link
